Android Code Snippet [B4X] [XUI] Canvas Draw Round Rect, Arcs, Ovals

XUI v1.60 introduces a new method: DrawPath

With this, now we have more options to draw:

• Arc
• Oval
• RoundRect
• LineTo

Just consult the documentation of each method of the B4XPath object, Asuming an initialized B4XCanvas (tCanvas) the relevant code is:

    Dim tRect As B4XRect
    tRect.Initialize(1dip, 1dip, MyWidth, MyHeight)
    
    Dim xPath As B4XPath
    xPath.InitializeRoundedRect(tRect, 10dip)
    
    tCanvas.DrawPath(xPath, Colors.DarkGray, False, 5)

I just have a question to @Erel ; Why to have another object and not only add DrawRoundRect or DrawArc to the B4XCanvas?

Why to have another object and not only add DrawRoundRect or DrawArc to the B4XCanvas?

Path is more powerful. You can make more complex shapes and more importantly you can clip the drawings based on the path.
